Another part that I noticed was in the scene where Mercutio was insulting Tybalt, right before they fought in the streets of Verona.

I think that in making these changes ... one of your greatest writings and a little bit of your personal information as well so that others can benefit from it and be able to appreciate you and your hard work even more.

- 20959: Movie Review: The Color Purple
- Movie Review: The Color Purple The movie "The Color Purple," directed by Steven Speilberg, was, in general, a satisfactory film. It was enjoyable, if you don't consider accuracy towards the novel it is portraying important. Speilberg obviously had little, if any, respect toward the original story, by Alice Walker. He slaughtered a story most people had heard of, but never read. I thought the movie itself was rather good. It had it's own good and bad points.
